Solar cells produce DC (direct current) electricity. Solar Cells are a semiconductore device stimulated by photons. The photons contact the atomic structure of the cell, dislodging the electrons from the atoms leaving a void attracting free available electrons. The photons that dislode flow towards the P side if there is a pn junction in the solar cell. This electron movement is a flow of electricity current that is routed from the cell surface through electrical contacts to produce power.

The efficiency of the cell depends on its spectral response. A wider spectrum of light to more power generated to find out more about how solar cells work for you in solar panels visit home solar panel
